Assessing Deficit Irrigation and Supplemental Irrigation as Water Management Strategies for Improving Maize Production in Benin

Allakonon, Marsanne Gloriose Bignon (WASCAL, 2020-02)

Deficit Irrigation (DI) consists to provide the crop with water below its daily need (ETc) according to the sensitivity of its growth stages. The objective of this study was : (i) to assess the factors explaining maize ...
Assessment of Loss and Damage induced by Waterlogging and Submergence Stress in Maize under Typical Ambient Conditions of the West African Sahel

Daku, Elidaa Kossi (WASCAL, 2021-02)

As the climate of the West African Sahel changes due to global warming, agricultural systems are facing stress due to the excess water induced by extreme rain events. Our first experiment, implemented in the suburbs of ...

Combining Ability and Heterosis in Diallel Analysis of Maize (Zea mays L.) Lines

Onejeme, Francis Chukwuma; Okporie, Emmanuel Ogbonna; Eze, Chinedu Emmanuel (AIJR Publisher, 2020)

A sound breeding program for maize improvement is very important to meet the demands of the growing population. Therefore, combining ability and heterosis were studied in a 4 x 4 full diallel cross in maize for growth ...
Effectiveness of different alpha lattice designs in the evaluation of maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes in a rainforest agro-ecology

Akinwale, Richard Olutayo; Odunlami, Love Kayode; Eze, Chinedu Emmanuel; Oladejo, Atanda Samuel (Heliyon, 2021-06)

Plant breeding experiments require the use of appropriate experimental designs that will efficiently block variation due to wide heterogeneity nature of tropical soils. The primary objective of this study was to assess ...
Evaluating the Yield Response of Maize (Zea mays L.) and Rice (Oryza sativa L.) to Future Climate Variability in The Gambia

Sonko, E.; Agodzo, S.K.; Antwi-Agyei, P. (Journal of Agricultural Studies, 2019-04)
Gene Action and Heterotic Response of Elite Maize Varieties under Varying Growing Conditions in Rain-Forest Agro-Ecology of Nigeria

Eze, Chinedu Emmanuel (WASCAL, 2020-01)

Several maize breeding programs use open-pollinated varieties (OPVs) as a source of genetic variability and favourable alleles of target traits. Drought tolerant and provitamin A (PVA) maize hybrids are needed to address ...
Grain yield and stability of tropical maize hybrids developed from elite cultivars in contrasting environments under a rainforest agro-ecology

Eze, C.E.; Akinwale, R.O.; Michel, S.; Bu¨rstmayr, H. (Springer, 2020)

In the maize producing regions of SubSaharan Africa (SSA), compounding effects of genotype-by-environment interaction have necessitated breeding maize for outstanding performance and stability across varying environments. ...
Projection of socio-economic and climate scenarios impacts on food security: case of Mali and Burkina Faso

Diarisso, Makan Garba (WASCAL, 2021-07-19)

Variation in cropping areas’ size and food security is a major problem facing Mali and Burkina Faso. The growth of agricultural production, especially of staple crops, is a key element of food security. Maize, millet, ...
Vulnerability of Rice and Maize Yields to Climate Variability in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of The Gambia: Drivers and Adaptation Options

Sonko, Ebrima (WASCAL, 2019-06)

Staple food crops are considered as the driving force for household food security and source of livelihood activities for many developing nations. Farming practices face many challenges due to the adverse impacts of climate ...
